THE OLD QUARTER IS A LISTENING ROOM. LOUD CONVERSATION DURING ARTIST'S PERFORMANCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN PURCHASING TICKETS TO SHOWS.
Adam Faucett began performing solo in 2006 when the demise of Russellville, Arkansas-based band, Taught the Rabbits, pushed him toward Chicago. He returned to Arkansas in 2007 to record his first solo album, The Great Basking Shark, and began touring nationally. 2008’s Show Me Magic, Show Me Out followed, featuring Faucett’s band, The Tall Grass, and a relentless tour schedule soon led to shows with Jason Isbell, Damien Jurado and Lucero.
Arkansas native William Blackart plays a lo-fi country brand of folk music. With lyrics described as “poetic and captivating,” vocals pegged as “rough and emotive” and guitar work called “hypnotic and spare” (Dakota Discography), his influences range from Townes Van Zandt to Leonard Cohen to The Clash.
By the time Brightwire released their 2021 album: Cracked, Flawed and Frayed (named one of the top local albums of 2021 by the Houston Chronicle), they had largely completed a new album’s worth of material.
This led to the idea of releasing a series of EPs that would eventually be pressed as a full-length. The first of those EPs was 2022’s Ghosts Best Left Alone, which debuted 3 songs the band had recorded in the quiet winter of that year. The EP was released right before they hit the road for a summer tour that saw them play festivals in Nebraska and Colorado while crisscrossing the Midwest.
